From Blueprint to Build
Creating the path together when the way isn’t clear. I am drawing from diverse, global experience to tackle challenges skillfully.
Nice to meet you!
I am Nienke (pronounced “Neenka”) – a transformational leader who brings 22 years of global experience to help organizations and individuals unlock their potential. As the 37th woman to visit all countries in the world (completed this journey in beautiful Pakistan in 2023), I’ve learned that while our differences make us uniquely fascinating, we share core aspirations: growth, connection, and meaningful impact.
“You don’t think outside the box, you have no box,” a senior head-hunter once told me. This boundless thinking shapes my approach to transformation – whether I’m driving innovation at Samsung, helping a telecom operator reclaim market leadership in Congo DRC, or managing sensitive community projects in the Netherlands.
I believe in the power of small, strategic changes to create transformative results. Using a combination of corporate expertise and proven tools (including Hogan Assessments and Clifton Strengths and Lencioni’s 5 behaviors), training, and facilitation, I help you identify those key adjustments that trigger cascades of positive change. My focus? Building confidence through early wins and persisting until you exceed your own expectations.
“Real results require you to feel safe enough to explore, and challenged enough to grow”

Each facilitation is custom-designed to address your specific objectives while creating an environment where all participants can contribute effectively. My approach emphasizes structured discussions that lead to clear, actionable outcomes.
Ensuring practical application is central to my training approach. Each session concludes with structured action planning where participants identify specific situations to apply their new skills and create implementation timelines. I provide application tools that bridge the gap between training concepts and workplace realities. For sustainable behavior change, I recommend implementation support mechanisms such as peer accountability partnerships, manager reinforcement guides, and follow-up check-ins. When appropriate, I can design pre-work and post-training assignments that connect directly to participants’ actual work challenges.
Team coaching is a systematic, ongoing process focused on improving how team members work together, unlike one-off team building events or skill-based training. It addresses both team dynamics and business outcomes through assessment, feedback, and targeted interventions.
Team coaching digs deeper into patterns of interaction, decision-making processes, and underlying dynamics that affect performance.
The approach involves working with the team as a system over time, helping members develop greater awareness of how they function together and implementing sustainable changes to enhance their collective effectiveness.
For individual coaching clients, I require payment at the time of booking or via monthly subscription for package commitments.
For organizational clients, I typically invoice with net-30 payment terms.
For engagements exceeding €5,000, I request a 50% deposit upon contract signing with the balance due within 30 days of service completion.
I accept bank transfers, credit cards, and can accommodate most corporate procurement systems.
